Another aspect of things such as fine china: if you were a guest in someone's home, and they brought out their best china - ie their investment in their children's future - it was a way of them telling you that you are more important to them than money. It was, and often still is, a clear indication of the massive esteem in which they held you. This is one of the highest forms of etiquette for many societies around the world.
I'm willing to bet the OP isn't aware of any of that. I'm guessing it's because she's such a rude b**ch that no one brings out anything for her but paper plates.
